Is Mid-Bass the same thing as Mid-Range.

According to Wikipedia a "Mid-Range" speaker, covers frequencies from 300Hz-5000Hz.

The above statement makes me think there is a difference between mid bass/range.

From a crossover point of view is the following correct?

Subs cover : 20Hz~100Hz

Mid-Bass covers : 100Hz~300Hz

Mid Range Covers : 300Hz~5,000Hz

Tweeters Cover: 5,000Hz~20,000Hz...

Does this look about right to everyone?

i like doing a 12 db slope on my subs at 60 hz or if i'm stuck with a 24 db slope, more like 70 hz, then let my door subs pick up from there with a smooth transition, (whatever settings that takes) and let the subs drop off naturally with the comps taking over from there.

you can cross your subs over higher but then your sound starts getting more directional, seperating the bass from the rest of the music (think having a tv going and having a speaker 10 feet away from it being it's only sound source.. kinda screws you up)

getting a good transiiton between drivers/amps/crossovers takes a little bit of work but once you get it right, it's well worth it.

My head unit has slope settings.. and i really don't really understand how that works/what it does.

Like what does a 12/24 Decibel slope mean?

Maybe someone can explain that for me.

i'm not 100% sure but i would think that in your list a woofer would go between sub and mid bass. i've also heard of super tweeters.

something like this:

Subs cover : 20Hz~60Hz

woofers cover : 60~150hz

Mid-Bass covers : 150Hz~300Hz

Mid Range Covers : 300Hz~5,000Hz

Tweeters Cover: 5,000Hz~20,000Hz..

It is a measure of how many decibels of reduction you have over 1 octave. The higher the slope (you can have 96db/octave) the more complex (and expensive) your crossover becomes. So generally only 12db/octave is used, and sometimes 24. I would tell you how many hz an octave is but I'm sure it's a ratio, thats why 1/3 octave EQs don't go up linearly.

In my opinion, it should depend on the driver. There are dedicated mid-bass drivers that handles frequency range of 150-6000hz where it mostly handles the percussion and any thumping sounds. And there are Mid-bass Mid Range drivers that handles 50-12000hz, These drivers can sing and play the drums all together.

Once you identify the frequency range of your drivers you should be able to set the crossover cut-offs and slopes properly.

Thant's just me, im a :noob:
